LOS ANGELES, Dec 7 — Spectacular lava fountains burst from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano on Saturday, US volcanologists said, nearly a year after one of the world’s most active volcanoes began its latest eruptive phase.
IPOH, Sept 21 — A two-month-old infant died after being accidentally smothered by his mother while sleeping in Kampung Sungai Dua Kota Setia, near Parit, last Thursday.
Perak Tengah police chief Supt Hafezul Helmi Hamzah said a report was lodged on Sept 18 at about 8.45am.
The baby was pronounced dead at Seri Manjung Hospital before being sent to Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB) for a post-mortem.
“The autopsy confirmed the cause of death was brain swelling and fluid in the lungs due to smothering,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Investigations under the Child Act 2001 revealed the baby suffocated while sharing a bed with his mother, who unintentionally smothered him during sleep.
The mother, an Indonesian national, has been arrested, and the case referred to the deputy public prosecutor’s office.
“She will be charged in the Parit Magistrate’s Court on Sept 22 (Monday) under Section 304A of the Penal Code for causing death by negligence,” he said. — Bernama
